.NET R&D Digest (April, 2024)

Every month I write a small introduction to the new issue of .NET R&D Digest. Sometimes, it is something abstract and sometimes it is something related to the trends and changes of related technologies. This time, these keystrokes will be dedicated to the issues itself. 

The issue you are going to see happened to be a bit… strange — with multiple sections, each having one or two links and with unusually short .NET section — just two series of wonderful content about .NET and C#. 

This doesn’t mean there is no .NET in the issues, in contrary, in the Watch & Learn section you will find a two videos — one about LINQ and one about async/await. These are a quintessence of .NET internals knowledge and a great demonstration of effecting development workflow. I highly recommend you to watch both of them, and I hope you will enjoy this «unusual» issue of .NET R&D Digest.

This issue includes bits of software development, C#, .NET, math, Windows, performance, diagnostics, tools, testing, software design and a lot of .NET internals.

Enjoy!

.NET R&D Digest (March, 2024)

The first quarter of 2024 has ended. As usually, a lot of interesting things have happened – .NET Aspire got a few more features and looks like soon it will support everything. Dependency on Swashbuckle.AspNetCore is going to be removed in .NET 9 and replaced with Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi package instead. A few more Microsoft projects have been open sources (Garnet, Retina). And all these are just a fraction of what is happening every second.

In all of this news storm it is so easy to lose track of new posts with interesting a valuable content unless you are subscribed to .NET R&D Digest 🙂

This issues includes bits of engineering, algorithms, software development, developers stories, C# language, tooling and a lot of .NET and .NET Internals.

Have a nice read!

.NET R&D Digest (February, 2024)

Keeping up with latest technology trends is something we, software developers, have to do constantly. Today just .NET is evolving so rapidly that it is hard to say «I have used all of the latest features» and .NET isn’t the only technology we use. However, reading everything about everything is plain impossible, this is where (at least I hope so) .NET R&D Digest can give you a hand — every month, there is a new issues filed with curated links to read and learn (and this month isn’t an exception).

This issues includes bits of hardware, software development, diagnostics, Windows, security, profiling, .NET Internals and a lot of .NET.

Enjoy!

.NET R&D Digest (January, 2024)

We are in the beginning of 2024. A lot of great things and innovation are coming, this is inevitable, and all we can do is to prepare our self and meet this with wit and knowledge. Luckily, that is what .NET R&D Digest is good for 🙂

This issues includes a lot of software development, diagnostics, performance, security, .NET, .NET internals and very interesting presentations about software engineering.

Enjoy your reading!

.NET R&D Digest (December, 2023)

2023 was a long year with a lot of surprising (for instance, AI boom), well expected (like new release of .NET 8) and a bit sad (cancellation of Project Tye in favour of Aspire) events. Some of these events put a “dot” and some raise a new beginning. Among these events were regular releases of .NET R&D Digest issues for every month except the December, which I am intending to fix now.

This issue includes bits of stories, software development practices, C#, diagnostics, performance, low level optimisations, AI and of course — .NET.
